So...I was all enthusiastic about adding an elephant nose to my tank. I have a very clean 46 gallon bowfront; all nitrogens sit at zero, pH between 7.2/7.4. The tank has been up and running since Jan. 11/2009. I bought an elephant nose on Sunday afternoon, came home Tuesday afternoon, and there he was.....dead. My husband and I sat in the dark Monday night as I fed him blood worms. Okay, I know this is a difficult fish to keep. I did a lot of homework, and thought I'd be able to pull it off. I really liked that fish and would like to try again. How could I have let this lovely creature down within 48 hours?!
